Thread: Did you know a helicopter could do this?

loved it , fantastic to do in models, impossible to do in full scale though

Cool, a remote control brushcutter, great for blackberries in the high country gullies.

so when does he start the tricky stuff?

ooh, that's pretty good,
i thought the model was good, but the real thing!!!
it looked real to me.

The real thing was maintaining positive G during most of that - there are helos that can do full on aerobatics but not like the models. If there was the demand I am sure real helos could be built to do similar stuff to the models - the main limitations would be the G forces able to be sustained by the pilot. The jerky and rapid changes of directions that models can do could not be done by piloted real helos.

Excellent stunts, shame the camera man is on speed !

Awesome,
How does he get lift upside down. Has he got reverse thrust on the rotor or something?
